Nigerian singer and songwriter Timi Dakolo has announced plans to support parents struggling to pay their children’s school fees as the 2025/2026 academic session begins.
In a post shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, Dakolo acknowledged the financial strain many families face at the start of every school term.
“I know it’s school fee season, it’s not always easy, I know this first-hand. So, let me help lessen that burden a little bit,” he wrote.
The singer directed parents and guardians to send their children’s school bills via Instagram to @TheOyindaOlu, assuring that receipts of payments made directly to schools would be sent back as confirmation.
“Just DM the school bill to @TheOyindaOlu on IG. We would DM you the receipt of what we sent to the school,” Dakolo added.
The announcement has drawn wide attention online, with many fans commending the gesture at a time when households are grappling with rising costs of living and skyrocketing school expenses.
Reports show that as schools reopen, the excitement of children returning to classrooms has been overshadowed by the financial burden on parents, who are struggling to cover tuition, levies, uniforms, and textbooks.
Known for his family-themed songs and community-driven messages, Dakolo has often lent his voice to issues affecting education and welfare. His latest intervention adds to a growing trend of Nigerian celebrities offering direct financial relief to fans in times of need.
